Online Modules
- Teachers learn and collaborate safely through a blend of online modules and guided live discussions.
- Online professional development modules integrate research, videos, and instructional strategies that spotlight how to support the unique needs of English learners and improve instruction for all the students in a classroom.
- Each of the six online modules is interactive, self-paced, and designed to reflect two hours of professional development.
- Guided, live, Zoom discussions lead by the ENL team can be integrated into faculty or professional learning community (PLC) meetings, or serve as stand-alone conversations.
- Online tracking and discussion forum participation is used to determine module completion, which can lead to a total of 12 hours of continuing education credits.
- Completion certificates are mailed in May, but may be requested earlier in the year.
